Hot on the heels of the equine forelimb muscles, here are the muscles of the distal equine hindlimb. 🦵🏼

Flexors and extensors, finally clear

The relation of the flexors and extensors on the different parts of the distal limb has always been tricky to understand. We're really hoping this content gives you a much clearer picture of exactly how these muscles are related spatially.

Scanned from a real limb

The content was taken from a real scan of the muscles of a distal equine hindlimb, so the fidelity is super accurate, and you can see just how much detail there is as you spin it around. You can click on the muscles to interact with them, and test yourself using MCQs or by typing the name, directly within the content.
